FAQs
WordPress currently powers around 43% of all websites on the internet. Unfortunately, this widespread use has led to several well-publicised security breaches, raising concerns about the platform’s security. Hackers aren’t getting in due to vulnerabilities in the WordPress software. Rather, most sites get hacked from entirely preventable issues, like not keeping things updated or using insecure passwords. At Mixd, we go to great lengths to bolster WordPress security. We employ specialised security tools including Cloudflare’s WAF and DDoS mitigation that effectively mitigate a vast majority of security challenges and maintain a high level of vigilance in safeguarding your data.
Mixd provides a stable, managed platform with enterprise-grade technology that automates threat detection and therefore limits the things customers need to worry about. We block attacks with continuous monitoring, automated updates, proactive threat detection and edge protection. In addition, our dedicated security team scans the risk and compliance landscape to ensure your site’s never compromised.
Our team promptly deploys security patches and other protections to mitigate critical vulnerabilities. We alert all customers of upcoming WordPress updates and make sure you are on the latest version of the platform.
